This papers shows the methodology of developing an integrated application of a design process and generating model of a knuckle joint using a Visual Basic and the SolidWorks. The methodology concentrates on the making a Knowledge Base Engineering. Where KBE helps with the storing and reusing the data by the user and it shows developing Graphic User Interface (GUI) as a KBE tool for the standard design for developing the design process and modelling of a 3D model of a knuckle joint by standard empirical relations using SolidWorks. From that interaction the user can decreasing the developing time along with the modifications of reusing same data with other parameters and generating a 3D model with the resultant parameters. There by the designer can decrease the designing time. This paper mainly concentrates on integration of two software’s Visual Basic and SolidWorks that could process could design and develop an accurate design of a knuckle joint. Index Terms — Computer Aided Design, KBE, Standard Design process of knuckle joint, Parametric Modeling, Visual Basic, Solid Works API. I. INTRODUCTION The main purpose of the ‘Design’ is to create things which will satisfy certain requirements of a user in an innovative way. Designer spends most of their time in understanding the existing designs and dealing with the challenges associated with the modifications and the improvements in the designs. Lots of engineering man hours is consumed by doing repetitive tasks of
In my robotics team, I learn all about programming in languages such as Java and C and the engineering design process. I am given the opportunity to design in CAD and to formally document our process in a professional Engineering
The fact that technology is evolving every second means that the way we design, create and even advertise it is changed. Designer can go a long way, in many different directions. Even though the innovations introduced have a major positive impact, they do have a negative one as well.
Primarily, the function and internal anatomical structure were researched in order to create possible designs and to conclude what key elements needed to be included in the design. In the case of the elbow, it is considered a synovial joint and is further sub-categorized into a hinge or uniplanar joint meaning the joint is responsible for movement in 2 directions in the sagittal plane. Using this information we created two designs, consisting of cotter pins, metal plates and PVC piping.
The human elbow is the summation of 3 articulations. The first 2 are the ones traditionally thought of as constituting the elbow: the humeroulnar articulation (the synovial hinge joint with articulation between the trochlea of the humeral condyle and the trochlear notch of the ulna) and the humeroradial articulation (the articulation between the capitulum of the humeral condyle and the concavity on the superior aspect of the head of the radius). The third is a pivot-type synovial joint with articulation between the head of the radius
Alice Rawsthorn starts her Ted lecture with a statement that design has different meaning at different times. However, the all Inspiring designs have something common: they were created by dreamers: people who have big dreams and rebels the conventions. As a proof to her statement, Rawsthorn brings examples from the human history. The first example is about Ying Zheng who designed the all fighting tools in identical way. This case emphasizes the importance of design tools as a response to unique needs as war: defense/attack. Moreover, he gave solution of necessity of maintain product consistency in order to keep the maintenance and
The operational design products within Schmidt’s model provide understanding and input to the next step within the process.
Mechanical Engineering Professionals, LLC is a small engineering consulting firm that's focused on general mechanical design and commercial product development. They work with a wide range of companies, assisting with product management, set up of engineering infrastructure, document control, and manufacturing. Their engineers specialize in everything from Sheet-metal, plastic, and SolidWorks design to spectrometry systems and intelligent mechanical design. Along with their main engineers, they also have a large network of engineers outside of their company which they bring in for larger projects, making them flexible to the needs of their clients.
After the training for SolidWorks there some concerns over whether or not implementing in would take too long and cause too much “heart ache.” After reviewing the training as well as covering new material that would help automate certain processes of design there was more cooperation as well as some excitement to push forward with the
The things that were already known about this job profession are,that there will be a lot of working with hand tools. According to the article ”Overview,”construction
“Design, the effort of people to make the products that serve us in our everyday life” this is how Buchanan refers to design. What the author is concerned about is mainly a vague indistinctive problem today as well mainly because of design’s flexibility. According to Buchanan, there is no appropriate design formula to define design, because design and design thinking is a individual experience, is a way of seeing things.
Jones discusses the steps that contribute to the science, technology, engineering , and mathematics design process. Jones helps the reader comprehend the that designing is all about creativity. Critical thinking skills and knowledge of what ones seeking are all requirements necessary in order to reach one’s goal. Jones continues to define knowledge as the never-ending quest to improve and evolve. With the focus on improving oneself. Jones provides examples of past inventions and explains that all the inventors were on the same quest for knowledge and

In every known age, techniques for problem solving becomes different since they are characteristically based on the new knowledge, tools, and technologies available during that period of time. Today’s digital age, one of the problem-solving techniques is increasingly using design thinking.
The pre-processing module consists of geometrical properties and from there move on to computer-aided drafting, or CAD repair, boundary, or physical property. If CAD repair is needed, then mesh is the next step followed by domain. The computing module consists of numerical values which then lead to solid mechanics, CFD module, or other domain solvers. The post-processing module consists of visualization, data analysis, and performance analysis. Last, platform control consists of PC’s or workstations, SMP and MPP, cluster computers, and grids. All of this information is gathered from the user’s perspective (Zheng, Xie, Zou, Chen, & Zhang, 2010).
In the first place, having a clear process enables designers to understand the concepts in greater depth. This could later facilitate and guide the development and implementation of design projects. To comprehend the topics, designers need to define the meanings of the topics, outline related fields and think about the project purposes.
